One thing I like to keep in mind, because many of us have those concerns … smart people (Democrats) who make it to the White House already know that our military personnel are a part of the “Defense” Department, not the “War” Department. That change was made after WWII (the big one), for a very good reason (forgotten by many RWNJs). I think she’ll have the judgment – once she gets in the Oval Office and is behind the desk, God willing – not to send anybody else’s sons and daughters into battle without a DAMN GOOD REASON. People do rise to the occasion, when they’re at that big desk. We can only hope.

People better be nice to her……I feel myself becoming quite protective of her. I’m eight years older than she is, so I’m older sister age. It is hard to explain what this means to a woman of my age. Never thought this would happen. My granddaughter, Emily, will take it for granted that a woman can be president. You go girl!

What I am liking about her- is that she just seems more relaxed than 8 yrs ago. She seems way more comfortable and frankly, comforting, to me. I have worried about her “hawkishness” too. But I just don’t think POTUS would endorse her if he was worried about that.. and I trust him implicitly.

I have the same feeling of comfort. She seems to have completely come into her own. She looked like she was enjoying every minute of that speech. She was self-confident so that she could give so much credit to President Obama and be gracious and generous to Sanders without feeling the least bit threatened.

I think he’s moved on to the extend that he didn’t go “Ted Cruz” on them. I bet he was threatened with no-chairmanship-ever-again and worse. He st there like the great stone face through the whole speech and tried once to pin a smile on but failed.

Late last night on CNN Tonight, political commentator Angela Rye took part in a panel with conservative correspondent Kayleigh McEnany to discuss Hillary Clinton’s historic nomination as the first major-party female presidential candidate. And because many of us were already tucked into our beds by 1:30 a.m., we missed the sight of Rye’s eyes rolling into the back of her head at the sound of McEnany describing all of the great works to which Donald Trump has committed his life.

“I love that we have facts like Libya in disarray, Iraq in disarray, Syria in disarray, all under the tutelage of Hillary Clinton’s State Department,” McEnany said, prompting Rye to look aghast in the direction of Maria Cardona. Then host Don Lemon asked McEnany what she thought about Bill Clinton’s speech, in which he referenced Hillary’s “helping with school and adoptive parents.” “Well, that’s great,” McEnany responded. “You know, Donald Trump has done great things in his private time, too, for veterans, all across his foundation. He’s done great things, too. We’ve all done great things in our lives and I commend her for helping children, that’s a commendable thing.” Seated to McEnany’s left, Rye could barely contain her revulsion.

On the phone from Philadelphia, Rye told the Cut that her eye-rolling in this and other interviews is carefully calibrated so she doesn’t come off as “an angry black woman.” (In an earlier sparring match with McEnany on Anderson Cooper 360, Rye told the conservative, “I’m so glad you’re telling me what I should be appalled by.”) “For me, yesterday, it was such a historic moment. Regardless of whether you’re with Hill or you’re feeling the Bern, we had to appreciate the magnitude of that moment,” she told the Cut. “To switch gears from shattering glass ceilings from Michelle Obama’s dynamic speech to Cory Booker to Eric Holder the night before, to then talk about ISIS? Are we really doing this right now?

As I recall POTUS put through an excellent jobs bill that Congress refused. I really really hope she’s going to tell us that she needs a working Congress and that folks need to vote dems in who want to get this stuff done.

IMHO, I don’t see her really accomplishing a lot of what she said she will do in her first 100 days without more Dems in the House and taking back the Senate. The Repugs have hated on her for at least 2 decades. It’s been part of their damn DNA for years. I don’t see them doing a 180 and becoming all conciliatory and collaborative like come January 20, 2017.

It’s up to us to vote for a congress that works with her. A neighbor stop his car in the middle of the street today when saw me in yard, he had to tell me has been watching both conventions and now is voting for Hillary, not the trump that was going to, because of what he has heard at DNC convention.

I live in Sydney, Australia. I’m not an American citizen but truly believe that this election is not just a matter for democracy in America, but for democracies across the world.

Here in Australia we have already seen the re-election of Pauline Hanson, a One Nation senator who has adopted both the rhetoric of Trump and his policy for banning all Muslim immigration. Last week we had two media personalities announce their support for such a ban, making their own stand against ‘political correctness’ whilst spouting their right to free speech.

His position as the Republican nominee has already had far reaching consequences on the global stage, and his toxicity is spreading. Americans need to remember that people across the world are looking to them to stop Trump, people who have no control over the outcome of the American election but who will have deal with the inevitable consequences. It’s astonishing and horrifying that he has got this far.

Inorite? Bless their little hearts. They thought they were gonna cause a ruckus and they outed themselves in advance instead wearing neon tshirts and got no play. I’m just embarrassed that many of them were apparently from our great Golden State and probably from my “FOKIN” neighborhood where it was Bernie 24/7 during the primary. Bernie even showed up at my farmer’s market to great fanfare..

I feel you purpleshoes. I know for sure that one of their leaders is someone who lives in my small community, and I’m very upset with him. Thought he was classier than that, but it appears Bernie has unlocked some dormant weird attitude in these people. They disrupted so many speakers today, and it was only all the other wonderful delegates who started chanting USA or Hillary every time the idiots started their chants, that kept their disruptions from being so obvious.

Bravo!!! She set forth the clear contrast and why it is imperative Mr. Orange Face gets nowhere near 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. And we need to take our Congress back. Fantastic convention from start to finish. Dems know how to do the do. Fired Up Ready to Go!

Thank you Lord for such a great DNC. Bless POTUS and his family, VPOTUS and his, HRC and hers, the next POTUS. Bless DT and send him to his favorite occupation: building buildings and making deals. Thank you for this place of so many decent people that keep each other informed.
Most of all, bless and console Chips.

the same kind of moron who always started with “I support/voted for President Obama but he “fill in the blank…. That veiled equivocating crap is not going to stop it’s just going to take on more gender/sexist/misogynistic tones now. Women aren’t dynamic speakers/orators doncha know

I ignored that part, but what’s so freakin’ hysterical is that people like Brit Hume of Fox – who sounds like a frog with a venereal disease, truth be told – also tweeted something about her voice. These dudes must have never forgotten the sounds of their grandmothers yelling at them as kids, or something. Morons and bozos, all.

You are on a roll tonight JOB!! Got me howling with laughter again, especially picturing all of the MSM guys with their big adult heads on little toddler bodies with diapers and short fat legs running from their grandmothers who are chasing them thru the house with rolling pins and frying pans in their hands. And “frog with a venereal disease” takes the prize!!

Here we go everyone; hold on to your butts! It is on and Hillary is leading the charge. Many of the things she said in her speech are things that PBO has said and has worked on; some he has even completed, but like anything, can have some tweaks here and there. I remember him at one time saying that there were few differences policy-wise between he, Joe, and Hillary back in the day. However, she will need a congress willing to work with her to get done all the things that she mentioned. If we do not gain enough seats, at the least, I hope that there will be enough repugs who will look at the near ruin that their obstruction has wrought and decide to really do their jobs.

Phuck no. They interviewed a white and black Bernie supporter about whether they had been persuaded. The black woman was eloquent in her acknowledgement of the revolution Bernie started and for her support for the nominee Hillary Clinton. The other lady was still angry and said she’s not sure who she will vote for in November. There were other whites interviewed who were clear they would vote for Clinton. They seemed truly committed to getting HIllary elected.

I loved the fact that she called out the NRA – that was huge! And she also specifically cited systemic racial injustice and reform of the penal system, including police. Perfect! I think she knocked that speech out of the park.
